Gorgon Syndrome | a performance by the Nodostage theatre

6 March 2024, central Warsaw.
Women take to the streets and scream: “AAAAAAA”.
This scream – wild, painful, unstoppable – became an impulse.

Four women. Four true stories.
About violence that does not end in a single moment.
About trauma that lives under the skin.
About the silence that comes later – and hurts even more.

The starting point was the legend of Medusa – the Gorgon.
The myth becomes a mirror.
Violence. Transformation. Cutting off. Rebirth.

The performance uses sign language, body language, rhythm and images.
So that everyone – regardless of their senses – can feel it.
